After 18 months of self-imposed ostracism from track and field. the triple world recordholder from Kansas is returning to the world of the living on January 22nd, when he will compete in the one mile run at the San Francisco Examiner Games. Ryun began his isolation in July, 1969 when he trotted off of the track during the mile run at a Miami AAU meet after running only a quarter of the distance. He finally felt that the problems and pressures of amateur track and field were no longer worth the rewards. In a press conference after walking off the track, Ryun exlained his lack of motivation. "It's staleness," he com- nerited, "when you start to see guys pull away and there's no competitive response. Too much competition. Too many races. Too much pressure. The Jim Ryun of a few years a4o is dead as of today. There has to be a new Jim Ryun. I have to exemplify my new self instead of my old one. I am anxious to compete. But I have to realize that I can't control races like before. What happened out there today was more mental than physical. If I don't get over this pressure I put on myself, the fear of losing, I may never step out on a track again." Ryun's admission of mental pressures was the heart of the matter. For the previous few years, he had been the hottest thing in track and field. A track meet wasn't really considered a 'big' meet unless Ryun was entered in at least the mile and the half mile, The pressure on him to produce was intense. Fans who paid their money to see the Kansas thinclad weren't satis- fied with a mere victory; it was the time that was important. At minimum, the fans wanted a sub-four minute mile. Most fans were hoping to see him set some kind of a record, and if Ryun didn't produce, the fans often let their feelings be known. It took Ryun more than a year to conquer his "fear of los- ing" but last November, he finally felt he was ready to begin his training again. He took up his usual training program: 10-15 miles of distance work every day, wind sprints, a number of sub-60 second quarter miles, followed by more distance work. On a good day, Ryun covers at least 30 miles. The Kansas thinclad began his meteoric,rise to fame in 1964 at the Compton Invitational Track Meet in Los An- geles, California. Ryun finished eighth, next to last, in the prestigious event but sped the distance in 3:59.0, only three seconds behind the winner, Dyrol Burleson of Iregon. What was even more remarkable, however, was that Ryun was only 17 years old at the time and a junior at Wichita East High School. His run marked the first time a high school student broke the four minute barrier in the mile. It was ohly a matter of time before other records began to fall before Ryun's flashing feet. In June of 1966 after his fresh- man year at the University of Kansas, he came within a tenth of a second of Michel Jazy's world record in the mile as he streaked to a 3:53.7 clocking. After his exceptional peformance, s the confident Ryun commented. "I thought I'd done about 3:56. I felt so strong at the end, That really ticks me off. If I'd missed by half a second, well, that might have been all right. But to come so close and not even know I was doing it."' Only a month later, Ryun blistered 2.3 seconds off Jazy's mark to become the first American in over thirty years to hold the world record in the mile. His splits of 57.9; 57.6; 59.8; 56.0 " added up to a 3:1.3 clocking. Still, however, Ryun was not satisfied. "I feel I could have run even faster," he commented. "When I win, I always feel as if I could have run faster. A week earlier, Ryun had set the world record in the 880- yard run although it took about two years for his work to be- come official. The next summr, Ryun was practically unbeatable. In * June, he nicked another two-tenths of a second off his own mile record. But the run was even more surprising as Ryun was not pressed late in the race and won by over 40 yards. He sprinted the last quarter mile in an amazing 53.5 seconds. Two weeks later, the 1500 meter record became Ryun's as he took 2.5 seconds off Australian Herb Elliot's mark to lower the record to 3:31.1. Ryun called this mark "even a better record than the mile: This mark will be even harder to beat." The years of 1966 and 1967 were good ones for Ryun. Record after record fell and victories piled upon victories. But 1968 proved to be the beginning of the end. Injuries started to come; a mononeucleosis attack felled him for a few months. At the Olympics, in a race Ryun wanted more than any race in his life, he finished a distant second to Kip Kenio as his famous kick failed him. The next year was even worse as a new group of milers led by Villanova's Marty Liquori proved that Ryun could be beaten. Four times during the year, Ryun walked off the track during a race, the last time in Miami when he finally hung up his spikes. And now, Ryun is starting his comeback. Ryun scheduled a press conference after he announced his entry to the Examiner meet. There, he announced that he really didn't know what kind of performance to expect. "I don't think if I do poorly in one meet," he said,'"I would give up entirely. I think I would have to judge my perform- ance over a few meets to see how I am really doing. But, physically speaking, I feel I'm in great shape. My training has been really coming along. But, I'll really have to wait and see how I do in a meet." For Ryun, it's just a matter of tuning up for the meet and waiting out the next eight days. And however long these days seem to Ryun's fans, they will probably seem like an eternity to him as he sees if he can make a comeback. Join The Daily FU DETROIT (A) - The Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League traded 14-year veteran left wing Frank Ma- hovlich to the Montreal Cana- diens yesterday for right wings Mickey Redmond and Bill Col- Uns and left wing Guy Charron. "It's time to start rebuilding.," Coach Doug Barkley, himself Iappointed only last week, said of the trade. "It is definitely a move in the right direction and a big step in our reconstruction program." Both Redmond, 23, and Cola lins, 27, are in their fourth sea- son in the NHL, While Charron, 22, is only in his second year as a pro. Charron who comes from the Montreal Voyageurs of the American Hockey L e a g u e, played 15 games this year with the Canadiens. Mahovlich, 33, formerly of the Toronto Maple Leafs, came to Detroit in a trade in 1968. He now joins his younger brother, Pete, with the Cana- diens. In 35 games this year Frank has 14 goals and 1,8 assists for 32 points. Redmond has 30 points on 14,goals and 16 assists and Collins six goals and two assists for eight points, both .in 40 games with Montreal. dailv sports k! NIGHT EDITOR : i RICK CORNFELD Barkley, who replaced Ned Harkness as coach last week fol- lowing Harkness' promotion to general manager, said the trade would "help us immediately." "When a club is lucky enough to get three players of this cali- oer," Barkley said, "it must give up. something good. "I Igree with Mr. Norris owner Bruce Norris) and Mr. Hark- ness that now is the time to start rebuilding." The three players' acquisition, he said. "could very well put us in the playoffs, which are not out of reach yet." This move was the first major one for the Wings' new general manager Harkness since his ap-' pointment to that post after the resignation of former general manager Sid Abel. Barkley, who came to the Red Wings after serving as coach of{ the Fort Worth club, has a 1-1} record and will get a chance to use his new hands tonight against Pittsburgh.

With the purpose of offsetting Jacksonville's pair of seven-foot- ers. Manhattan Jaspers used clever ball handling and a sharp passing attack in a keep-away game. They didn't attempt a field goal in the first eight minutes and tried only 23 in the entire game. Jacksonville's 7-foot-2 Gilmore blocked six of them. Penn tops St. Joe ,:1 caroms key Rockets By JOHN PAPANEK Special To The Daily TOLEDO-Michigan's freshman basketball squad dropped its third game in four starts last night to Toledo's frosh five, 88-78. The key factors that propelled the Rockets past the Wolverines were complete domination of the boards and a well balanced scor- ing attack. Behind most of the game and at half-time 48-40, Michigan put on a surge to come within one point with 10 minutes left in the contest, but a quick Toledo spurt finished the Wolverines off and they never threatened again. John Bridges pumped in 24 points on 11 of 19 from the floor. mostly long-range bombs, for the bright spot in Michigan's loss.
